Friday Links!

Summer lull this week, like every year, so fewer links than usual.

From Wally, the Hugos: 2024 Hugo Award Winners. Brief but fascinating: Air Defense: Russia Provides Target Practice.

From C. Lee, and Chat GPT has replaced much of Google for me: Threat actor impersonates Google via fake ad for Authenticator. It just goes on and on: Mac and Windows users infected by software updates delivered over hacked ISP. And another: Windows SmartScreen security has been compromised for years. Then it became a political football: The lost history of what Americans knew about climate change in the 1960s. This is an interesting idea: A greener getaway? Danish capital tests climate reward scheme for tourists. More than just medals at stake: Japanese camera giants battle for supremacy at Paris Olympics. A provocative read: Yanis Varoufakis Thinks Capitalism Has Been Killed By Technofeudalism, Something He Helped Usher In At Valve. Surprising, but not entirely so: Testing shows “significant durability” problems with edge-lit LCD TVs. A texture Luddite (he does make some good points): I’m sick of PC games wasting my bandwidth on 4K textures. These are fantastic: 10 Miniature Sculptures By Tatsuya Tanaka To Brighten Your Day
